Finally addressed the elephant.

After spending the last 6 months just wanting to sleep . dreading work and every task before me.. Loving my chikdren but feeling overwhelmed.
Like im dying.. Ot worse yet. Losing my mind . i went to the DR today. Just now. Something hit me this weekend.. I realistically am depressed. And need help. Every holistic treatment worked for a while but im ready to do more. So i now have a rx for lexepro and buspar and a refferal to a counselor this week. And yes i have post partum depression

And i couldn't have had a nicer dr.. Its going to be ok i think. Its so weird to not want the label but have so much relief now that its done with and said. Hope everyone ishaving a good day. I just wanted to share. Im on a bus full of ppl grinning like i got my life together. Because i finally addressed t😂😀😢he elephant in my life

Congrats! I definitely think this needs to be talked about more often, it happens a lot and no one ever acknowledges it so it just feeds into the depression because you feel alone - but know you’re definitely not! It’s great you’re being so strong and addressing it Sending good vibes your way momma
